Friday Holiday Fun BOYS' LIFE "A Christmas Carol"

A Couple of Weeks Ago, We Presented What We Believed was the Shortest Version of This Oft-Told Tale!
We were WRONG!
Craig (Golden Age Sandman) Flessel told the tale (with, admittedly, a lot of editing) in two pages, as shown in the Yuletide issue of Boys' Life Magazine (December 1952)!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Friday Holiday Fun LITTLEST SNOWMAN RESCUES CHRISTMAS Conclusion

...he had traveled to the Ice Wall near the North Pole...
...to find out why the Spirit of Christmas, who had always awakened by this time each year, had not yet emerged!
Sadly, The Littlest Snowman and his story of sacrifice for love is all but forgotten today...

Friday Holiday Fun LITTLEST SNOWMAN RESCUES CHRISTMAS Part 1

No, he ain't Frosty the Snowman...
But this little guy was almost as popular in the 1950s, though, sadly, largely forgotten today!
To Be Continued...
Next Friday!
Written by the character's creator Charles Tazewell and illustrated by Mel Crawford, this never-reprinted tale from Dell's Four Color Comics #864 (1957) is an original tale, not an adaptation of a previously-published prose tale!

Friday Holiday Fun CHRISTMAS TREASURY "Christmas Carol"

Here's a "Reader's Digest" condensed version of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol...

...in only 10 pages, illustrated by Mike Sekowsky and adapted from the novelette by an unknown scripter.
This was included in Dell's 100-page one-shot anthology, Christmas Treasury, published in 1954.
It included a wide range of material from a graphic story retelling of the birth of Jesus Christ, to a tale about Santa Claus, to actual Christmas carols (complete with sheet music), to Clement Clarke Moore's "Night Before Christmas", to features about "Christmas Around the World", to this Dickens story!
Usually, a comic adaptation of A Christmas Carol takes anywhere from 30 to 50 pages, like the Marvel Classics Comics version we presented HERE.
But this one is pretty concise, leaving out only a couple of details, and hitting all the major plot points!
